the youngest heretofore is about12 years of age. Brooks gave me an animated description of his escape from the Yankees at Island 10, it sounded like the hairs breath scapes of a romance. He says he will write out a sketch of it & send me, or bring it if he comes up to spend his Christmas with us, which he is anxious to do. He has promised that in case our army falls back he will let me know of the movement in time for us to move also. & fall back with the army. He avers however that the Yankees will be driven from Nashville by New Year. Heaven grant it may be so! Brooks & Lt. Partee left this morning for Readyville. I was in bed all the time and Mollie had the housekeeping to do, which she managed very well indeed as well as entertaining the beaus. Jessie played for them, with Ting to assist in singing, & they were pronounced prodigies, of course. Brooks said Jessie would be a very beautiful woman as well as a gifted one, and he was going to wait for her. Jessie says two of the Texas Rangers were going to wait for her too__ but she dont care bout sweethearts now.
___ Yesterday afternoon Maj. Nicholson of Columbia, & Capt. Butler of the La. Coast were to see us. Capt. Bs family & Mr. French are old acquaintances. Mollie had all the entertaining to do__ and did it very gracefully, as usual. She to superintended the commissary & Puss in the culinary department made all things right. __ Maj. Nicholson said yesterday that our forces were in five miles of Nashville__ pickets all driven in. Also the news is that Lincoln has recalled his negro proclamation__ finding it as he feared, a mistake!! Poor ole Dabe [Abe]!__ he is himself von tres gran meestake.
